Summary

North Smitfield High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 532 students in North Smithfield, Rhode Island. Its results stand out among the nearby schools: SchoolDigger ranks it 6th of 58 statewide, at the 90th percentile with 5 stars, and it leads the nearby group in overall ranking. The clearest achievement strength is 11th-grade SAT Mathematics: 56% met the state benchmark, compared with 24% statewide and 38% at the next-highest nearby school.

The school is above state levels in every reported subject and grade. It also ranks first nearby in both 11th-grade SAT subjects: 73% met the ELA benchmark, versus 48% statewide, and 56% met the Mathematics benchmark, versus 24% statewide. It ranks second among nearby schools in all-grades Science and both 10th-grade PSAT10 subjects; PSAT10 Mathematics is its smallest state advantage, at 43% versus 29%. Its 94% graduation rate is 9 percentage points above the state rate and 5 points above the North Smithfield district rate, though three nearby schools have higher rates.

SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has stayed high—81 in 2020–21 and 2021–22, reaching 93 in 2024–25 before settling at 90. One notable difference is the SchoolDigger effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students: 52nd percentile in 2025–26, down 28 percentile points over three years and well below the school’s overall 90th percentile.
